In the beginning, there was no skill queue. I remember setting my alarm for 3:30 am just to get up and make sure i enabled a new skill training, so as to not waste the training time.
Years past ........
CCP gave us the 24 hour skill queue. No longer would you have to set your alarm for weird hours to coincide with skills finishing, players rejoyced. (Except the bitter vets who insisted new players had it too easy and should have to do it the original way, sleep deprevation was a good thing don't ya know)
Years past ......
CCP give us a near unlimited queue. We are given the ability to plan out a goal and queue the necessary skills needed to achieve this goal regardless of the time involved in the training.
I for one say Thank you CCP :) |

Love the new skillqueue system! Now I can update anytime it gets close to the end!
I saw the days of only training 1 skill at a time. When the 24H skillqueue came around, I was so happy! And now CCP removes yet another frustrating limit! No more timing when one long skill finishes for you to login in to start a new skill! Nowyou just insert a new one when the old gets enar, or just park a bunch of skills in it in case of holidays.

(though it's advertised as 'Inifinite' on the login screen etc ... but (i'm told) it's not ... its either 50 skills or 6mths (whichever smaller) and, quite clearly, that is not infinite. Would appreciate misleading advertsiing being removed so it does not mislead a customer base. :) ) |

Some players will come back or register an extra new account. It's so good and convenient to EVE. It's not that late to save EVE from the decline. |

How could unlimited queues need the addition? We are too young too simple, sometimes naive. |

+1 I'm especially looking forward to their plans to eventually allow imported skill queues and integration with the ship ID system, along with the overhaul of ship mastery. A literally unlimited skill queue doesn't seem reasonable imo, but we're effectively there, and long past the days of logging on to wait for that "skill training completed." |

Indeed the hardest thing about times before skill queue was training those lvl 1 skills that only took 15minutes or so.
When the queue came I slapped in at least 20 different skills that I couldn't train before and I was ecstatic. Then they announced that we could have any attributes that we liked and I was even more ecstatic and now I guess I'm permanently high. |

So while technically not infinite, game wise it virtually is.

but yes ... you can 'either' go up to 50 skills, at any time period , but no more than 50 skills.
(conversely I'm also assuming here you can only add skills over 50 skills as long as the time period is under 6months ...
so, yeah, ... i got confused tryign to say that in one catch all statement, and gave up on the logic and pressed 'post' lol.
NB yes, Ive got skill queues now until well passed two years... lol ... |

ah, should have read down before I posted reply. :)
Thanks for the clarity. Much appreciated. :)
That said ... from an advertising point of view, Inifinite means infinite, so strictly speaking the 'advertising' should be adjusted, as I'm sure there's a bunch of legal wranglers out there who'll actually give a damn and persue it. ;-) (Me, not being one of them ... though I work in the industry that has to be careful about that kind of stuff).

I had a few skills that are like 1d and a few hours, and with my schedule right now I just didn't have a good time to put them in, muauhauhuah now they will be done! Plus a few skills I just couldn't bear to place on the queue, but now that they are just going in on a list somewhere long away I don't really mind. Now I just have to remember to either add some more things or remap in a few months
I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!

Right, the term probably should be something like extended or expanded skill queue. |

It still needs to allow skills with requirements to be trained if those required skills are already queued in. |

Agreed, but only if they are in queue prior, and part of that would be to allow injection of all skills regardless of meeting prerequisites to make that happen. That way you can then inject, add to the list after the prereq's, and walla. Otherwise the injected skill does nothing and is merely taking up space. |
